I have found recipes on the internet for muscadine wine, but they are for wild muscadines. I'm growing the Ison (a dark muscadine) in a cultivated vineyard as my cross pollinator. This particular grapes runs about 18% sugar and are well fertilized and watered. How does this change the recipe?
The other variety I'm growing is the Supreme (also from Ison nursery) and is a fresh fruit grape. They are not well suited to wine production because they are not very color fast and the wine will turn brown.
Here's two folders of photos of the vineyard.

I have made beer before and did a few wines from concentrate, but that was 25 years ago, so I consider myself a 'newbie' Thanks for any help you can offer
